Adjust the Schedule

By Abe Newmeyer, April 5, 2022

Work & BusinessAdaptability & Change

Since I’m in job search mode, I’ve gotta tweak my schedule a bit. I’m currently twelve hours ahead of the east coast and thirteen for the central time zones in the U.S. So for job interviews and the like, I’ve got to be awake in the middle of the night. I will need to make some adjustments to my sleeping and current work patterns.

It shouldn’t be too challenging, but there’s Veronica. When I have to make these sort of changes, I try to remain cognizant that I’m not alone anymore. There’s someone else to consider. For me, that’s still new. I’ve been single the majority of my life. I’ve been able to make my decisions based on me and no other factors really. Now that’s not the case.

Veronica’s supportive. She won’t complain and I’m confident she’ll adjust to whatever our new schedule. She’s done this before and I’m sure she will again. The challenge, for me, is communicating my needs properly. Secondly, ensuring she understands what I need. Once she knows and understands, I’m certain she’ll accommodate.

Today, Tuesday, April 5, 2022, I am grateful that:

Lisa and I spoke early this morning. “If it’s important, I’ll lose sleep for it” is one of my favorite sayings. She adds value, so I lost a bit of sleep.

I’m grateful I didn’t have any more meetings this morning and was able to take a quick nap. Only about 45 minutes or so, but I feel refreshed.

Mo sent over a job lead and a potential client yesterday. Not entirely sure what will turn out of either, but the more opportunities, the better my odds. It’s a numbers game at this point.

Are you resistant to change?

Are you willing to make the amendments needed?

How reluctant are you?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
